KYIV—The train connecting the Polish town of Chelm to Kyiv stops for some time at the Yahodin border crossing point. Once all passports had been checked, I took the opportunity to enjoy some fresh air (these compartments get hot) and went out onto the platform with dozens of other passengers. It was quiet and peaceful, a light breeze, birds chirping above the train station. And it made me wonder: could someone, dropped in that train and on that platform with zero knowledge of the current situation, guess that the country around him is at war?
